Things: A Story of the Sixties (2026)

Georges Perecs cool, exacting portrait of a couple torn apart by consumer desire follows a young pair who build their lives around the objects they long to own. From furniture and clothes to carefully imagined interiors, their desires shape their sense of who they are and who they might become. Yet satisfaction always seems just out of reach. Precise and quietly ironic, this novella explores the promises of material life and the emptiness that can follow.
